Do you smirk when you hear someone question the official stories of Orlando, San Bernardino, Paris or Nice? Do you feel superior to 2,500 architects and engineers, to firefighters, commercial and military pilots, physicists and chemists, and former high government officials who have raised doubts about 9/11?

Some researchers in the JFK assassination community are aware of the fact that one of the doctors that treated Jack Ruby was none other than Dr. Louis Jolyon West, equally infamous for both killing an elephant with LSD and other drugs and for his work in MKULTRA, CIA’s interrogation, hypnosis and mind control program.

In the speech he came out against continuation of the Cold War that risked all life on earth for the benefit of the profits of the military-security complex and the budgets and power of the Pentagon and CIA.

What David Talbot has done in his newest book, The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government, is trace the origins of this system of “secret government” through a biography of one of its architects.
